Re: NASA FCU 2% CC

PNC Bank has a card (Cashbuilder, I believe) which has a similar structure, but tops out at 1.75%. I'm a little unclear on how this works exactly, but it seems like you have to spend $2,000 in a month before you can start seeing the 2%. That is a little much, IMO, especially given the opportunity cost of putting those purchases on other cards with bonus categories and no minimums.

Re: NASA FCU 2% CC

It looks like either checking or spending over $4,000 will get you the 1.75%. Regardless, that's even more monthly spend that the NASA card for a lower rate (though it does seem to count for all purchases.)

Sad to see that the Priceline Rewards 2% might be going away, too. I personally will probably never apply for it, but it is one the few of its kind out there right now.

Re: NASA FCU 2% CC

You are forgetting about the citi dividend card. that has cash back categories too.

also, capital one platinums can be turned into straight 2% cards. Just complain to the EO that you want rewards, and ask for miles rewards. thats 2 miles per 1$ spent. you can cash out the miles at 5000 intervals for 1 cpp. while a bit inconvenient, that's technically a 2% card as well.
